Heading into Monday’s interleague series opener against the Kansas City Royals at Miller Park, the Milwaukee Brewers are 24-40—the second worst record in the major leagues.

They’re a major-league worst 11-22 at home. Their minus-64 run differential is 29th in all of baseball.

They’ve dealt with a managerial change with the firing of Ron Roenicke last month and the hiring of Craig Counsell. There have been injuries—All-Stars Jonathan Lucroy, Carlos Gomez and Aramis Ramirez have all spent time on the DL, as have everyday players Jean Segura, Khris Davis and Scooter Gennett.

More from Milwaukee Brewers

The Brewers have the worst batting average in baseball at .232, the worst on-base percentage in the sport at .284 and the 28th-ranked slugging percentage at .373.

But wait … there’s more!

Their 4.25 team ERA is 27th in MLB. No pitching staff has given up more than the 77 home runs served up by the Crew.

The starting rotation has been a disaster worthy of FEMA intervention. Just 41 percent of their starts have even met the ridiculously bare bones definition of a “quality start” (at least six innings, no more than three earned runs).

But, hey, at least the team is 28th in baseball with 53 errors.

    • If it sounds like an awfully harsh picture being painted of the ballclub, there’s a reason. There is absolutely nothing in any of the statistics through nearly 40 percent of the 2015 season that should leave anyone holding out hope that some sort of recovery is just around the corner.

    This is a bad baseball team, playing badly.

    With around six weeks remaining before the non-waiver trade deadline of July 31, the Brewers have to start blowing it up in order to try and rebuild around young talent.

    Milwaukee came into the season with a franchise-record opening day, active roster payroll of more than $104.2 million, per Cot’s Baseball Contracts.

    So with a rebuild in mind, here are 10 players who might be changing uniforms before the end of July.
